Reach for the skies here at the Yorkshire Air Museum & Allied Air Forces Memorial and explore Yorkshire’s role in the development of aviation. Yes, the aeroplane is a Yorkshire invention and our latest Pioneers of Aviation exhibition tells the story of the great names in aviation, all with a local connection. Discover York’s wartime history with "Against the Odds", the definitive national exhibition on RAF Bomber Command. Take a ride on our exciting Flight Simulator and discover if you have what it takes to be a Harrier Jump Jet pilot!
Based on the original RAF Bomber Command Station, the Museum’s award winning gardens retain the authentic atmosphere of the period - probably the largest original site of its kind in the world, with authentic buildings housing a wide variety of exhibitions. The internationally renowned collection of almost 50 aircraft, covers the birth of flight to the supersonic age, including the unique Halifax Bomber, plus the ‘live’ big jets – Nimrod, Victor V-Bomber and Buccaneer. This friendly parkland site covering over 20 aces is certainly much ‘more than just an air museum’ and offers a fantastic visitor experience.
